Abstract (en)
A centrifugal separator and a method of operating the separator are disclosed. The separator comprises a centrifuge rotor (4) having a rotor wall (7) enclosing an inner space (8) containing a stack of separation disks (9). The rotor comprises an inlet (10) for a product, a first outlet (11) for a light phase of the product, and a second outlet (12) for a heavy phase of the product. The second outlet comprises a plurality of outlet channels (14) extending along an inner side of the rotor wall from an outer region (8a) towards an inner region (8b) of the inner space. Each outlet channel transports a flow of the heavy phase from the outer region. The separator comprises a plurality of temperature sensors (20) provided at a respective outlet channel. Each sensor senses a temperature in the proximity of the respective outlet channel and provides a signal representing the sensed temperature.
